Thonex Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Hi Devs, I really wish there was a way that AD would trim the canvas to visible or selected content. I realize there is a workaround by 1) Copying selected layers and 2) File > New from Clipboard. But when working on a bunch of UI controls it gets VERY tedious to keep creating new docs just to trim to content. Thanks for listening.

fde101 Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 You an kind of work around this using artboards: Select the artboard tool, set the popup on the context toolbar to "Selection" and click "Insert Artboard". That will give you an artboard perfectly matched to the selection. Thonex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will create a Keyboard Maestro macro to do that for me with 1 key command. Thanks fde101 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thonex Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 For anyone else interested, a macro (using your favorite 3rd party key command macro app) works very well. That said, Affinity should make this native without invoking Artboards. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
